Thanks! this is a valuable resource and a great addition to the codex.

I’m stuck on something that I can’t figure out though – I’m sure it’s simple and it’s evading me.

I’m using wp_list_pages to build a drop down menu;

My parent page is “bikes” and below that I have sub pages, bike1, bike2, bike3, etc.

I’m using css to style and build the drop downs. My problem is that the top level page is never rendered as a link on my menu – just a “label”

How do I tell wp_list_pages to make that parent page a link as well?

Thanks in advance.

that would add the same class to every level of navigation. Not each specific level. Ie:

parent: class: parent
child: class: child
child-child: class:child-child

etc..

Interesting, the Codex lists number as a valid parameter for WordPress 2.8+:

I haven’t tested it myself, but if it doesn’t work, you may want to open a ticket..

FYI, the ‘number’ argument for wp_list_pages does not work properly. If you look at the code for wp_list_pages here, you won’t see the “number” argument. Seems like the code does not work as advertised, sadly.

Another great article about using WordPress as a CMS.

In regards to WordPress Pages functions, I would like to have a horizontal menu across the top. The Parent pages would be listed inline, but when hovering over the parent, a dropdown of the corresponding children pages would show.

I have used a theme that does this well in Firefox using Javascript, but does not work in IE. Iwould like the horizontal menu to be pure css if possible.

Anyone have suggestions for this task?

Perhaps something like this would work: &link_after='); // wrap anchor text with a span tag ?> See the post for more details on this.

any ideas on how to add a class to each specific level of page navigation?
